THE ANARCHISTS.
A SENSATIONAL STORY.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 1.-The follow
ing sensational story was published here ::
Two well known men overheard some
thing yesterday that was rather startling.
The parties referred to reside In Allegheny.
and being in the neighborhood Of the
Union depot, boarded & Chicago train for
the purpose of crossing the river. They
took seat in the smoker, next to two
men. Just before the train pulled away
from the depot al old man entered the
car, carrying box about two feet
long. He spoke to the two men referred
to, and seating himself on the srm Of the
box near one of the men, and in low
voice that could be overheard said:
"There's the box; now handle it care
fully, for it won't take much to make it
go off,"
This at once aroused the curiosity Of
the men who overheard it and they then
listened carefully although apparently
deeply perusing paper. The old man
still retained his position and was heard
to say:
"NoW you both know what to do. Just
as soon as you get to Chicago go straight
to TOMS place on South Halstead street
ana stay there until the Supreme courts
decision has been made. That will be
about Thursday. Then go to see Parsons
and find out What he wants. Be careful,
though, to watch the box"
By this time the train had nearly
reached the Federal Street depot, and as
its speed slackened the old man arose
and gave a hearty handshske to his
friends and said: "You don't need to be
afraid about going to the jail, for no one
knows you. And remember that, no diff
ference what happens,
THRY MUST NOT HANG.n
The train stopped and with good bye
the cid man left the train.
The two gentlemen who overheard
what was said got up to leaYe the train
also, and walked through it 10 get view
Of the two men who were apparently
bound for Chicago. One was
about thirty years old, blonde hair
and fair complexion, with German
features. The other was dark, wore 8
heavy beard and looked 10 be about forty
years old. He was recognized as the
man who had taken an active part in one
of the meetings addressed by Mrs. Par
sons in Allegheny last winter. He hSd
been seen there by one of the parties vino
overheard the conversation, and who had
attended the meeting also. The only in
ference to be taken from the matter was
that the parties we're Interested in the
fate OF the anarchists in Chicago and have
devised some plan for their relief.

An Old Time Cemetery.

The Ohio and Mississippi construction
hands at work on dump at Caysville,
Ill, have dug into an ancient buryine
ground. Some Of the bodies we're found
at depth OF ten feet buried in fine wal
mt collins. Already fifteen skeletons,
have been exhumed &nd the hands sre
not reburying them, but are dumping
them in with the dirt and rubbish to Gil
up the dump. The circumstances point
to the fact that the bodies belonged TO =
civilized race, but the Oldest residents
seem to have no knowledge of there ever
having been a buryirg ground at that
poiat, and its history probably dates back
to the time of the French settlements.

ANEW LIFgBOAT.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The lifeboat of
the Norton pattern recently ordered by
Secretary Whitney Was successfully
launched this morning at Alexandria.
This boat is twenty six feet long, seven
and One-hah wide and three feet deep.
II weighs but $500 pounds, which is much
lighter than any now in use by the Uoited
States navy. 1t is built after the Dory
style, aud is so arranged that should the
sea fill it it will empty itself in minute.
IN fact, with its patent air chambers it is
useless to try TO sink it. It is to De
named BY eight men, but can be mar
aged by six. It is put together with
brass screws and bolts, not having
nail in 1t. It is so built
that when it IS tossed by the
sea it cannot he upset, because Of tie
chambers filing on the opposite side and
thus stesdging it. These boats have been
tested in ali kind of storms and weather,
and have always come up to Whist is
clsiIned of them by Captain Norton. The
workmen are now engaged in building
two similar boats for the French and
English governments, who will adopt
them If they prove satisfactory. Captain
Norton xpects at an early day to CON-
mence building q yacht which ne wul
challenge the world TO surpsss, either in
beauty or speed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The President

manager would make his appearance at

the plausible "Miss K, your dress IS not

an impression for good on the customer,
but convinced Miss X. that black was the

bau had been notorious csnnibal. How
many Of the human race had found q
resting place in his capacious stomach
it would be impossible to esti-
mate. In his earlier years, when
King of Nebau, his chief invariably asked
him whether he would take 'pauka
belava" or spauka decua" for diuner.
The former means long pig; that is,
human flesh, and the latter real pig.
Joints Of both were always kept in those
days in the royal larder. It took the mis-
slonaries many years to wean the FiiisDs
from this horrible custom, and probably
the Introduction of cattle into the islands
has ss much to do with abolishing it as
anything else. Addressing meeting of
missionaries in 1854, Thekambau prom
ised to give up the practice save in the
case OF prisoners taken in battle; these,
however, were still to be eaten, for, said
he: "It is right that the breasts of my
warriors should be the graves of my en-
emies." It was not until the death of
his father, Tanoe, in 1867, that he form
ally forbade cannibalism and became
Christian. In the course of several con-
versstions with Thakambau on the sub
Ject of eating human flesh 1 learned that

islands differed materially from
those in vogue in New Zealand.
The meat WAS cut up into small
pieces previous to cooking it. It was
then wrapped in plantain of leaves and
tied up with fiber and placed in en- oven
in the ground and allowed to cook until
the leaves and fiber were reduced TO
ashes. The heads were then made into
soap. Thakambau told me that his father
never offered anything but "puaka bella
va" to chief, and as visits from the pet
ty chieftains of the numerous islands of
the group were frequent, the sacrifice of
life was terrible. The victims were ell
ways selected from the slave classes,
who never knew from day to day when
they would be called on to furnish feast
for the palace. It was also the custom
to kill the old and decrepit when they be-
came burden on their relatives. Tha-
kambau spoke of the custom with undis-
guised disgust, and during the last years
OF his life did his utmost to wenn his
people from It. Indeed, so strongly did
he express himself in condemnation of it
that it was hard to realize, as sat at MS
table in 1882, that had visited him few
years before should probably have &C.
cupied plsce on his sideboard.

81, raul IlOD6.
Everybody has heard Daniel Weoster's
story of the New Hampshire psrson who
put on pair of pants in which the wasps
had built nest and did not make the
discovery until he YVES N the pulpit. He
had lust announced the beginninglof the
text, "The spirit Of the Lord is in my
mouth" when the pesky little fellows got
in their work, and the sentence was con-
cluded with the exclamation, "and the
devil is in my breeches!"
St. Paul clergyman found himself in
nearly as embarrassing position az the
New Hampshire parson, when last Sun
day ne appeared in the pulpit wearing q
pair of fall trousers which had been hang
ing in the wardrobe during the long
summer vacation. The wesps had not
found them out, but a motherIy old
mouse had. She had spread nice, warm
couch Of sealskin pluckings in the right
hand pocket Of the trousers, into which
an even half dozen Of one-day- old lnicelets
had been tucked away. 1t is faYoIite

when about to approach climax in the
sermon to thrust his right hand in his
trouser pocket and elevate the left with

It so happened on this particular day
that Eljsh's translation was the theme.
The good prophet had been followed by
the eloquent preacher until the climax of
the ascension in chariot Of fire was
reached, when the clergyman thrust his
right hand into his trouser pocket. The
audience, who had been hanging On the
burning words OF the orator, were no
little startled by the sudden collapse Of
the upliited left hand, the index finger Of
which was IL the act OF pointing
to the gates that were being
lifted up to let the prophet in.
The expression OF momentsry papg shot
scross the preachers face SIS with g con-

he discovered the mice in his hand.
